Funny, there's a transvestite(I'm pretty sure a transexual is one who is BORN inbetween itself)tribe in one of the states in my country(India).Scary part is that they have the tendency to lob off their privates at some point.I'm not sure the tribe members themselves WANT to be what they are.It really is sad what 'culture' sometimes forces you to do.CrystalShadow said:Huh. Interesting about the bond girl thing.Buccura said:Well one of the girls in the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only was a tranny, or at least once a man so, who's to say there aren't some Booth Babes who are the same?
Also shame on those who don't know that that reference is actually of Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
As for buffalo bill, I know that reference, much as I wish I didn't. -_-
I do find it awkward watching these kind of things without taking it personally.
Especially considering how easy it is to get things confused.
A transvestite is NOT the same thing as a transsexual; They're motivated by quite different issues, and it's unhelpful to everyone involved to confuse the two.
A transvestite is a man who likes dressing in women's clothing. A cross-dresser, essentially, though even that has slightly different implications.
A transsexual is a person (could be a man OR woman, originally), who believes they are/should be a member of the opposite gender. In most cases, the goal or desire of a transsexual is to be as close as it is possible to their chosen gender. (Ie. Under ideal circumstances, they would be indistinguishable from someone born that way.)
In any event, judging from this, I'd lean towards the character here being a transvestite.
But you can never really be sure in reality, and with a character like this, I doubt anyone even thought about it beyond the usual joke...

OT:This was an almost great episode but it was totally ruined by that...moment.I mean,one sniff would have been enough.
I think that few days after the "trailer" for Game Dogs came out, there was a parody where they had a dialog:pannakin said:What can I say? it struck me. And what have you been watching where crotch/butt sniffing jokes are worn out?Abedeus said:Really? People still find crotch/butt sniffing funny?pannakin said:I laughed. I actually laughed. The butt sniffing was money. I love jokes that go on too long. Ya know? the ones that are funny then arent funny but then it gets funny again because of the ridiculous length. bravo.
What's even sadder is that in a parody of the Game Dogs trailer, someone actually used the "can I, like, sniff your butt a bit?" joke.
Yes, why are you being so pretentious?Pantherman said:And you get all that, plus being a pretentious dick out of a simple cartoon?? Figures..Abedeus said:You seriously compare crude cartoon humor to pornography, softcore bestiality and furry transvestites?
But what am I expecting... One look at your avatar says a thousand words.
